Options!!!
My 1995 Bronco has plus's and negatives. first the plus's
1) has the MAF sensor
2) 4 wheel ABS
3) Air bag
4) 103,000 miles
5) NO rust at all!
6) manual hubs, T-case
7) A/C
8) only Paid $3100
The neg's
1) automatic transmission
2) NO carpet! ( this is the 2nd ford with no carpet!!)
3) vinyl seats
4) NO cruise control!!
5) few aftermarket parts available (you have to own a 97+ truck to get in the aftermarket game)
Does anyone know of a a non slip pad to put in these? all my stuff slides around annoyingly every turn I take.
Who chooses these damn options? c'mon, is Cruise control really an option that should be left out of an automatic?
Anyone have a magic wand I can borrow to change this into an Eddie Bauer model? lol

It sounds like you have an XL model Bronco. If it was all the toys that you were after, you should have bought an XLT or an Eddie Bauer. I have a 1990 XLT and as far as I can tell, it has every single option that was available to be added. But the XL is a lower priced, stripped model that is popular for law enforcement or businesses that need a large 4WD truck but don't need, or want to spend money on, a bunch of power options. Furthermore they were often sold as a fleet, so the lack of options saved a whole bunch of money.
Anybody could buy an XL, of course - but by 1995 most people bought XLT's and a lot also got the Eddie Bauer trim option. If you want all the toys, you don't have to get an Eddie Bauer, a lot of the XLT's, like mine, have everything. I actually prefer it to the Eddie Bauer, I don't care for that foo foo stuff... But I knew that I wanted all the toys and I would not have purchased an XL.
NOTE - Before it was called an XL, the designation "Custom" denoted the stripped model.

I would rather have vinyl on the floor than carpet. Have you seen the red clay in Georgia. I can open both doors and blow it out with the hose (carefully). My '96 Bronco was an Eddie Bauer and it was super. I bought a rubber floor mat for the cargo area to preserve the carpet and installed four d-ring anchors on the floor to anchor the cargo net bought at the local Autozone. Put your stuff on the rubber pad, pull the net to you and snap it to the rear dees, presto, Heeeere we goooooo! Also had vinyl over the carpet front and back seat area. Just too much mud/clay here. I did have leather seats and cruise control but rarely used it. As to parts, just browse the net, there are tons of incredibly neat aftermarket stuff for Bronco's of your vintage. Sounds like you have a super truck, enjoy it. Only problem is the more I visit this forum, the more I miss the old Bronco.
